Do you honestly think the reason those guys voted to ban Paul was because they didn't want to hear dissenting opinions?!? You've gotta be kidding! Dissenting opinions are actually very welcome from a vast majority on this thread - it's the petty trolling, constant abusive tone and down-right mean-spiritedness that makes people want to kick Paul off the thread. "Ignoring" him would have accomplished that. But then again, then other people could still read his posts. A clear violation of the Maniban thought control.

fyodor, Re : "Dissenting opinions are actually very welcome from a vast majority on this thread - it's the petty trolling, constant abusive tone and down-right mean-spiritedness that makes people want to kick Paul off the thread." The related questions to think about : 1. If AMD stock price was at $45 right now, would more people have voted for the ban ? 2. If you replace all of past posts from paul and alter the names from Intel to AMD, AMD to Intel, Jerry-bashing to barrett-bashing, hamster to shitanium, athwiper to willidog etc, and his responses to bill jackson to wanna_bmw and dan3 to Elmer, etc, etc, would more people have voted for the ban ? I dont think so, in both cases. The thread is one-sided. If it were not for you, andreas, Kash, Mani, crazy_doug, jamok and about 6-7 more, this thread would be a hardcore cult with zero value to the investor. I dont think the few of you along with some Intellibees (without Paul) make up enough to restore the balance, IMO. Maui.
